Took our three granddaughters here yesterday, they had a wonderful time, holding day old chicks and ducklings, feeding lambs, pigs & ducks and then collecting eggs and putting the livestock away at the end of the day.
We took a picnic and there was plenty of benches to sit and eat it.
The staff were brilliant, they got the children involved in all the activities.
It cost us £25 for a day ticket, I thought this was real value for money and we also got a 25% off voucher to use again or pass on to a friend.
My wife and I also enjoyed this visit to a no frills historic working farm.
Thank you.

We didn’t know what to expect from our visit, but we had seen the TV programme some years ago. It was so interesting, the hi-light for us was to actually see an old fashioned horse and plough in action. There were numerous animals and old fashioned farming equipment. The staff were very knowledgeable. The homemade food in the cafe was fantastic. Ideal day out for young and old.

Attended the Historic Farm with my parents, had a nice and relaxing time wandering about the grounds. Enjoyed watching the animals in their natural habitats and taking in the atmosphere. Friendly staff; especially liked chatting to the Horse and Donkey keeper (pictured in the groups' photos ploughing the fields). Lovely chap! Food was delicious. Must check out the café which used to be an old school.

Spent the day with a group of friends learning how to make focaccia, spelt loaves and hand churned butter. We also enjoyed a butter churning session using a traditional end to end butter churn. Thankfully, we managed to all make a smaller batch of butter using less muscle power.
We didn’t have time to see much of the farm except the dairy and it wasn’t a working day but there seemed to be lots of things to interest all ages.
I would highly recommend the bread and butter session, and think the rest of the farm is well worth a look.
I noticed baby changing facilities and the shop looked inviting too.

Took children age 8 & 9 here for the day & we all had fun. Pretty surroundings, interesting old-world farming displays, animals well cared for, helpful staff & plenty to see and do. The cafe was excellent serving home-made food that was fairly priced. Clean facilities & some play areas such as sandpit and gypsy caravan for younger children.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day here and spent a lot longer going around than we expected.
All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and there is a full programme of demonstrations, guided walks and animal interactions throughout the day.
Study the map they give you to ensure that you don't miss some of the features.
We loved seeing the working horses being trained.
Reasonable prices in their cafe.

There is a fabulous off road mobility scooter that can be hired at the farm. Well worth booking this ahead of a visit if someone in the party struggles with walking. Cute pygmy goats, free range chickens walking around and beautiful piglets. Great family trip we could all enjoy

Visited with my daughter and two young grandsons. Was only planning to spend half the day there but stayed until the end. Saw all of the activities which were great. What is special here is the staff doing the demonstrations - they make sure that every child has a go no matter how many children turn up for holding a chick or lamb feeding. You can also get close to the lovely animals and there are lots of them, many running around for you to see. My favourites will always be the shire horses such big beautiful giants. The tug of war with a grass rope was such fun and the staff and lady we spoke to towards the end were so interesting. There’s lots of space to run around, have your picnic and all and will definately be back

Fantastic day out with the family. Plenty to see and do and lots of opportunities to get hands on with the animals. We enjoyed sampling the cakes and lunches in the cafe too.
From my 6 year old “this is the best farm I’ve been to, it’s got all the animals you could ever want and lots of great events too!”
We got a groupon voucher making it even better value for money.
